There’s nothing like an artist with a sense of humour & a sense of the past. Here we see two versions of “The Swing:” the first by McInnes full of hedgehog whimsy, & the original by Lancret full of 18thc, French, Rococo flirting (1735) ☺️🌳

Here’s to spring with these lovely Kate Greenaway prints. As a Victorian, Greenaway loved to mine 18thc, Georgian sensibilities for her art. The 1700s were delightfully pre-industrial to her 🌷🌼

By the 19thc, Europe’s forests had been the site of richly dark tales & art. But they had also seen the real horrors of war. Following Romanticism, artists could, at last, be honest about it all & foreground the darkness itself. The thing with history is that it repeats…

If I had to pick one fairy tale I loved as a child, it was Bluebeard. Brought to life by Charles Perrault in 1697, & illustrated below by Doré & Dalziel in the 19thc, the tale’s themes of forbidden secrets & the perils of curiosity were as old as Pandora 😱🗝#FairyTaleTuesday

Mistletoe lore is ancient. It survived winters as an evergreen & was thus seen to heal fertility, vitality, & ailments during mid winter. Greek, medieval, & Norse lore adored it. In the 18thc, the pagan & sacred met to make it a Xmas-time fertile, kissing plant

Apparently in the late 19th & early 20thc, Halloween had a more romantic vibe. And there are many vintage cards with this mirror motif -who knew? 💋😱

In the 18thc, as literary fairy tales began to flower, the figure of Mother Goose took hold. A kind, storytelling “crone,” a kind witch in a way (wise, could fly, artist, older), she became part of childhood reading culture in a benign, magical fashion.

Class is back in (in-person) session, y'all! In Week 2 of we discussed the material culture + labor of taxonomy in the 18thC, from the classification of mammals to crazy things like platypuses and from the abortifacient peacock flower to Linnaeus' sexist plants.

In Britain, since at least late 19thC, it was thought to be bad luck to mend clothes whilst they were still being worn. What form the ill fortune would take varied from being cursed never to be rich to having evil thought/spoken of the unlucky one
